The two curved windows are installed, taking advantage of the hull internal access: Now, finally, at this stage, the internal doors to the heads/galleries can be installed. Yves

This is where we stand: A few more guns to be built, before I can seal the quarterdeck with the poop deck. Yves

I think it is time for a small update. I finally completed the starboard gallery.... The following pictures are showing the sequence of the build: The lattice is 3D printed in resin. I am not really following the kit (lack of) instructions, neither am I using all the parts provided in the kit. Paint and Future Floor. Gluing the rails..... Building of the roof.... Installation of the window panes.... And the pilasters to complete the gallery.... Et voila. The port side.... Again, make sure that you have access through the inside of the hull, to the galleries for the final installation and correct positioning of the window panes. The doors can be installed later on.

F4U-1A Corsair by DocRob - FINISHED - Tamiya - 1/32
yvesvidal replied to DocRob's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
It seems that the traditional decals are becoming history ..... Yves -
After having built that model, I would definitely recommend the RCS PE. It is a lot more work than Eduard but also infinitely more realistic. For the gun, the EDUARD gun is very nice and allows you to represent the gun closed (submerged) or open (surface). I built both the Eduard and the Trumpeter gun kit and ended up installing the Trumpeter gun. It was a close call though, and I would understand how most people will prefer the Eduard gun. Yves

Is the Borodino a paper model in 1/200 scale? Very interesting project that you are starting. Yves

I know the feeling....after building some 70 cannons of various sizes for the Bellona. Yves

Beautiful construction Chuck, as always with your models. Yves

That's is exactly what I did: The material (cherry wood) is 12 mm thick (made of 3 layers of 4 mm each). As indicated if you do not taper the bow, you will need 12 mm between the legs of the figurehead. It you decide tapering, you should do it before assembling the keel..... Yves

If you intend to use that figurehead on the bow of the CAF Model HMS Bellona, you will need 12 mm between the legs, to make it sit comfortably, unless you are planning to shave and sand a lot of the cherry bow. But you probably know all that already, since you have the CAF kit Session #1. Yves

You are ready for the first tests on the water..... Yves

Chuck, Will it be CNC carving or 3D printing? Or hand carving... 😁 Yves

I have always wanted to build this ship at 1/100 scale. I started when I was a kid at 15 years old, and did not go further than the bridge and main turret. The guns were made of brass tubes soldered together and raised when spun (like the old Lindberg model). I will be following your build. The Trumpeter kit is a good base to magnify the parts. You should also consider 3D printing some of the repetitive parts. Yves

Mayflower by tj456 - 1/19 scale

I like the old SAE electronics from the 70-80's. I own a SAE 8000 Tuner and like it very much. Great model, by the way. Yves -
The inner planking is quite unusual. Fantastic job. YVes

Dehavilland Mosquito by Edwardkenway - Tamiya -1:48
yvesvidal replied to Edwardkenway's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Fantastic job. I would try to drill a little bit, these canons for realism.....It is difficult to say, from the picture. Yves -
For the separate ovens.... I can fully understand: you don't want your bread or pastries to smell like venison or roasted chickens. For the checkered floor, it (unfortunately) reminds me of the flooring used in all Grand Lodges of the Masonic fraternities, where some significant atrocities are committed. I will not say more about that... Yves
